While set in the past, this unflinching, brutally honest play is relevant to many of the issues facing our nation to this day.

Images and thoughts from Celia keep tapping on my shoulder unexpectedly since Friday.
—Christopher Wendel, Audience Member

Incredible, important, and heart breaking.
—Chrysta Faye, Audience Member

Friends, do something for your soul and go see Celia, A Slave,
a most-timely and remarkable production by the The Rogue Theatre,
written by our very own Barbara Seyda, a brilliant genius.
Actors are fully embodied and incredible, choreography by Barbea Williams is magic,
music by Jake Sorgen and Vicki Brown lifts the theatre,
and incredible direction and staging by Cynthia Meier brings to life the cruelty and grace of a horrific era.
A story set in 1855 Missouri could not have more relevance to every year that followed, including this one.
Art is what we need. Go see it.
—Kimi Eisele, Audience Member

A pure joy to watch.
—Arizona Daily Star

Theatre magic!
—Joyce Smith, Audience Member

Brilliant.
—Kathleen Schwartzman, Audience Member

A fun and memorable and provocative play.
Thank you. Vivid, lovely costumes.
Your button sewing division deserves some time off.
—Greg Hart, Audience Member

It was a terrific play produced brilliantly.
—Richard & Linda Miller, Audience Members

You broke my heart; you mended my heart. Thank you so much for one of the most memorable evenings of my life.
—Diane Wilson, Audience Member

I found the January 14 performance to be the best play at The Rogue I have ever attended. The many plots within the plot were so well played by a talented cast. The tension kept building. The last few minutes of the play had me on the edge of my seat.
—Wayne Beal, Audience Member

The Grapes of Wrath is a fine example of one of the things that The Rogue does well: an intelligently conceived and skillfully realized adaptation of a literary classic. This company is the jewel in Tucson's theatrical crown: it deserves your enthusiastic support.
—Bill Epstein, Tucson Sentinel

Thank you for a powerful performance. The last scene left me stunned--a feeling that I think was shared across the audience. It took me a while before I could clap—so much to digest and reflect upon.
—Valerie Miller, Audience Member

Albee’s play, first performed in 1991, seems to get richer with time. The cast delivers on all that richness. This production, directed by Christopher Johnson with a lovely simplicity and a sharp focus, is a riveting one.
—Arizona Daily Star

The show was stunning. Gut wrenching, actually. I could barely summon sufficient composure to applaud. Well done. As always.
—Lawrence Lee, Audience Member

If you haven’t seen this, you are missing out on a performance extraordinaire! It was awesome!
—Glenda DeMoss, Audience Member

Fabulous! Saw it twice and would see it again if I could. The chemistry between the three of you is amazing, though not unexpected. And Christopher’s direction is outstanding. Love, love, love it!!!
—Pam Shack, Audience Member

Once again the Rogue makes one think, and cry, and laugh and the masterful peformance by “three strong and talented women” was not to be missed.
—Laura Kosakowsky, Audience Member

Rogue stages an impressive King Lear!
—Arizona Daily Star

This King Lear I will take to my grave.
It was brilliant.
—Tomas Demoss, Audience Member

I was blown away last night watching Shakespeare’s meticulously arranged psychological denouement
of King Lear in the inner struggle against his worst enemy, madness.
—Susan Collinet, Audience Member

We not only enjoyed a fantastic production,
but also all of the beautiful language.
—Marie Kidder, Audience Member
